I am a strong believer of positivity! This post is a place for people to come and leave uplifting, positive thoughts! I feel it is so important to bring out the good in others and to spread love by being positive! Please leave your positive thoughts, uplifting quotes, scriptures, or share anything positive! When I designed and made this button I never dreamed it would be such a blessing to not only me but everyone that comes here to visit!Bless you all for your friendship and love! ♥ HUGS ♥

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

I LOVE this idea. Wouldn't you know YOU would be the one to come up with it!~♥

"No matter what circumstances you sisters experience, your influence can be marvelously far-reaching. I believe some of you have a tendency to underestimate your profound capacity for blessing the lives of others. More often than not, it is not on the stage with some public pronouncement but in your example of righteousness and the countless gentle acts of love and kindness done so willingly, so often on a one-to-one basis."--James E. Faust

Shauna, Thank YOU for being YOU and all of your countless gentle acts of love:)

I am thankful for so many Blessings in life that are many times taken for granted...my God, husband, kids, house, food, ability to work and pay bills, freedom to be free in this country, having a computer, electricity, water, cars to drive, schools, music, washing machine and dryer, immediate and extended family still living, a brain and a memory, a voice, my eyesight, mobility, hearing, and so much more that is not guaranteed in life, but that we all take for granted each day.

You know, this morning I woke up able to see, able to talk, able to hear, able to breathe, able to hug my children and be with my soul mate (husband) in the warm sunshine.....I give all my thanks to God, whom made all that possible. And when we are ankle deep in the snow tomorrow (winter storm coming), I am going to praise Him because I know He will bring the sun back!

I just had a cancer scare recently and for 2 months had been going through tests (painful) and the stress of it all. What sustained me is really thinking of how everything has a purpose and that there is something to be learned from what I was going through. I was at peace and positive that things will work out. Last Monday, cancer was RULED OUT. I believe that faith, hope and positivity really makes a huge difference in people's lives!

I just hatched out a bunch of baby chicks. There is nothing sweeter than fluffy baby chicks jumping into your hands and snuggling their heads between your fingers. I love God's creation. So much love and cuteness.

Use your talent (everybody has one) in anyway you can. Don't keep it for yourself like a miser - spend it like a millionaire! Lucy MacDonald

SO TRUE...our youth needs to hear this, they are so pressured these days to be good, athletic, beautiful, intelligent...it is hard for them to see what they have to offer others. It is in GIVING that we receive!

If you chance to meet a frown, do not let it stay--Quickly turn it upside down and SMILE that frown away!! No one likes a frowny face change it for a SMILE, make the world a better place by smiling all the while :)

I hate to say it but thinking positive didn't stop my alternator from dying on me today. :-P And when they tried to replace it, a bolt/belt had to be replaced, too, adding another $100 to the bill. Blah! Still trying to be upbeat, though. At least the 10-year-old heap still runs!!

As I sat in a fast and testimony meeting in Colorado this weekend with 3 of our children, their spouses and 10 of our precious grandchildren, the thought kept coming to me, 'Where much is given much is expected'. One of those is having a heart of gratitude! As women being so blessed by so many of the Lord's blessings both small and large I am so full of gratitude for ALL things. Even those hard things which teach and help us to grow and become stronger and closer to HIM.♥♥♥

I've heard this before and always makes me chuckle...especially when I ask my kids to "BUCKLE DOWN"...did I JUST SAY BUCKLE DOWN? OMGOSH...I have really turned into my MOther (funny). ANYWAY, my kids do not like to do menial labor. Don't get it, when we were young we just had jobs to do. I am VERY SURE I never, ever in my life whined about it (haha).

I do like the "positive" button... My positive thought for the day:When I was about to turn 38 and was Really bummed about it (all that "pushing 40" stuff), I mentioned my angst to my mother (then 74). Her response: "It's better than NOT turning 38!" Every birthday's looked REALLY good since then! (I just turned 51; mom's 87!)

Whether I believe in John Edward (the psychic) or not, I was moved by one simple thing he said directly after 9-11. He was talking about all the people who said they felt helpless and wanted to do something but didn't know what to do. He told them that there was something they could do ... They could pray.

I continue to love this button! Here's my positive thought for the day: Yesterday, my son (who is mildly Autistic) said "bye bye mom" to me yesterday as I left for the doctor. It's the first time he's ever called me mom with meaning!!!

Just reading backwards a bit...have been off a couple days...Yeah Sarah O...that is SO cool and so glad about your dog Sodahoney! (our dogs are so much angels in our lives...I almost lost mine on my birthday a year and half ago...and she has been by my side every day since. I know it was her purpose to be my friend through a rough time. I hope yours is doing well!)

My positive thought:
